She looked at him in confusion
With tiny tears in her eyes.
She can’t help but to question Him,
“Why did I have to die?”

He reached out to hold her
With the comfort that he gives…
“No longer are you dead my child,
But no longer do you live.”

She doesn’t understand,
But she listens anyway,
Struggling to rid her tears,
She looks up and hears Him say,

“I saw the pain you were going through,
And each night I heard you pray.
You pleaded me to make you well,
So you could go out and play.

You were so young and innocent,
Unknowing as you are now.
Your time one Earth ended tonight,
And then I fulfilled my vow.

I promised to end your pain
When the sin of man injured you.
So, I reached down and brought you home
And stopped what you were going through.”

For a moment she was silent,
Then she asked how it could be
That she had lost her life
At only the age of three.

He smiled though loving tears
And knew just what to do.
He gave her wings and a halo
And said, “Heaven needs little angels too.”
